Also talk to your local media and get them asking the officer why they aren't doing anything about this.

Was the cross burning part of a demonstration which might be free speech, or an actual crime if it occurred on someone else's property as a means of intimidation/threat?

Organize counter-protesters too to outnumber the Nazis if any more demonstrations are planned.

It was a peaceful if abhorrent march, not well-attended, no supporters for those marching. I remember being shocked that such a group even existed. That was then...
I greatly admire your courage and activism! You have some good advice here. I would be cautious about getting involved in organizing a counter-protest yourself, but certainly try to get civil rights groups informed and joining your effort.

By speaking out I'm putting myself at risk of retaliation from these groups.

I don't want to live in fear. But I don't want the next generation of my community to have to live in fear either . Change has to start somewhere. I'm not happy about having to do this. But it's my civic duty to try.

the first paragraph.

What does the research on the correlation of DNA ancestry and pharmaceuticals and eugenics come into play here? Did I miss something?

I can only guess as to your what you are trying to investigate. My assumption, only my guess, is that you would like to know if the incredible increase and and effort into ancestry genetics may be linked to the increase white supremacy. In some way is the data that is now being presented assisting or accelerating the concept of Eugenics?

Just curious as to what you may have found or considering may be connected.

Southern Poverty Law Center, as other potential resources. On edit from my earlier remark, the ACLU may not be the best choice as I'd forgotten about their earlier actions. But there are many other groups that would be very concerned about white Supremacists/Nazis -- any groups that protect civil rights, or groups specific to protecting rights of Jews, blacks, Hispanics or other people of color and religious minorities should be appalled at what's going on here.

I'm continuing to fight. And I'm even more resolved in my research .

This has the potential to put me and my family in a dangerous position, so I'm going to delete some of the private info I posted.

I thank you all for being there for me and your help with information.

I won't give up. If any Arkansans would like to contact me, please send a pm about this. Thank you.
